Ingredients

• 1 pound moose meat (cubed, stew-cut)
• 1.5 cups wild rice
• 4 cups water
• 2 large carrots (sliced)
• 2 medium potatoes (cubed)
• 1 medium onion (chopped)
• 2 stalks celery (sliced)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon thyme (dried)
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the cubed moose meat to the pot and sear for 4-5 minutes, turning to brown all sides evenly.

Step 3

Remove the moose meat from the pot and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the chopped onion, sliced celery, and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 5

Return the moose meat to the pot, then add the wild rice, water, sliced carrots, cubed potatoes, salt, pepper, thyme, and bay leaf.

Step 6

Stir the ingredients to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the dish simmer for approximately 2 hours, or until the moose meat is tender and the wild rice is fully cooked.

Step 8

Stir occasionally and add more water if needed to prevent sticking or drying out.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the bay leaf, adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as desired, and serve warm.
